Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Clerihew

Carrie Nation's Temperance Crusade

Carrie Nation loathed saloons and whiskey,

And took some actions that were quite risky!

She chastised dudes who reeked of intoxication,

And used her hatchet to smash kegs of booze across the nation!

Entry for Andrea Dietrich's "Educate Me With Humor" Clerihew Contest
